Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris)

The Common Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris), also known as Spice Mugwort or Ordinary Mugwort, is a plant species from the genus Artemisia in the family of Asteraceae and reaches heights of about 60 centimeters to 2 meters. Mugwort is found in Europe, the temperate regions of Asia, and in North Africa, and is one of the oldest ritual plants in Europe. The practice of smoking with mugwort dates back to Celtic-Germanic times. It was believed that mugwort could expel evil spirits. At the summer solstice, people throw the herb into fire to rid themselves of all evil. Since the plant was sacred to the ancient Germanic peoples, it was demonized as witch's herb in Christian times. Today, this powerful herb is smoked for protection and to promote clairvoyance.
